Break, Blow, Burn: Camille Paglia Reads Forty-Three of the World's Best Poems by Camille Paglia
3.0
I think it's too broad of a collection to have any effect on me.
Most poetry since around the 18th century goes right over my head, and the author's commentary for those read much like a wine taster's notes which, for a palete such as mine, are of no help whatsoever making alcohol taste of anything other than booze.
Earlier poetry was of more help. Some of those resonated and I'll definitely pick another collection that's more focused on what I'm most likely to enjoy.
